I wanted to thank everyone for sticking with me and especially lrtross3 for being a super awesome and wonderful person and making me love my story again. This chapter is for you and I hope you like it.
"Benny get your lazy butt up" Rose hit Benny, who was still fast asleep in the head with a pillow. She was standing at the end of the bed while he just rolled over and groaned clearly ignoring her. "It's already mid-day" she huffed "if you won't get up, I will make you."
Rose jumped onto the bed and began to tickle Benny, he was very ticklish. "AHH, RAPTERS!" Benny yelled clearly startled, he was laughing his ass off. Rose was grinning ear to ear as she unrelentlessly tickled him until he was on the verge of tears. "Rose stop" he thrashed around in laughter but she wouldn't let up.
Benny finally composed himself enough to flip over and on top of Rose, he was a lost stronger then her. They eye each other for a moment, "don't you dare Weir" he just gave a huge grin and started tickling her "NO!"
"Oh come on Rosie can't take what you dish out?" Rose gave one good wiggle and the hand Benny was using to support himself slipped and he fell onto her.
Rose took a deep breath and regained her composure but when she looked up she noticed how close Benny really was to her. In the process of tickling her, he had ended up with his body positioned between her legs. His face only inches from hers, his eyes locked on hers, "Benny what are you doing?"
"This is like a scene from the movies" his breath was hot and sweet on her face.
Rose's heart was beating so fast she thought it was going to beat out of her chest. Her breathing was laboured and her mind racing, "then why don't you do what they do in the movies?"
Benny lowered his head and pressed his lips gently onto hers, they were soft and warm. Rose looked slightly startled, "What you told me to do what they do in the movies" he smiled his face still close.
Rose smiled for a moment before closing the gap between them. Benny reached his hands up and cupped her face giving her the most passionate kiss she could possibly imagine.
After a moment of passionate kisses, the mood changed once again. Rose realized that both she and Benny were wearing just their underwear. Rose wrapped her legs around his waist and snaked her arms around his neck. Benny ran his soft hand up her stomach and to her chest-"
CRASH. Rose jolted up, she had apparently rolled off the bed and onto the hard floor. "That must have been one hell of a dream you had" Rose's heart stopped. She popped her head up and looked over the top of the bed to see Benny putting his shirt on.
"What do you mean?"
"You were moving around and making some pretty strange noises" Benny flashed that million dollar smile, "were you dreaming of me again?"
Rose's face turned a whole new shade of red, "in your dreams Weir."
"You know it" Benny smiled and Rose's heart stopped "I'm going to get breakfast" and he left.
Rose sat on the cold floor and put her hands on her chest trying to her heart to slow down. It was in that moment that she couldn't deny what she had been feeling for almost a year. She was in love with her crazy, geeky, calculus loving best friend, Benny Weir. Nope I refuse it, we can't be anything other than just friends as she got dressed she played back all the moments when she knew but refused to admit how she felt. She decided that it would be best for everyone if she just forgot about how she felt about him.
When she made it down stairs she saw Benny stuffing his face full of crepes. Rose wasn't feeling so well, but she brushed it off and summed it up to the dream. She sat across the small wooden table from Benny who looked like a chipmunk with his cheeks stuffed with food.
"Would you like some crepes dear?" her grandmother asked sweetly.
Rose shook her head which was beginning to hurt. "Can I just have some cranberry juice and a bowl of strawberries and cherries?"
Rose's grandmother eyes her for a moment before handing her, her breakfast. "What would you like to eat for dinner tonight?"
Rose rubbed her temples "tomato soup and roasted red peppers would be amazing."
"Craving red food little sister?" Dominique came around the corner, leaning against the kitchen counter.
"I suppose, I didn't think about it, I can't think about much with my splitting headache"
Dominique and her grandmother made very brief eye contact, "maybe you should go back upstairs and rest for today" Dominique suggested. Rose complied, not feeling up to much today anyway. After she went up to bed Rose's grandmother and sister excused themselves into another room to talk.
Benny spent the better part of the day lounging around on the couch and playing video games. When it was about dinner time he decided to go upstairs and check on Rose. He never suspected anything was out of the ordinary. "Rose are you feeling any better?" he expected to see her still in bed but instead she was gazing out of the window.
"I'm feeling better" she turned to look at him
Benny smiled "sweet! You should come down stairs and play with me" he held up a game controller.
Rose walked over to him and placed a hand on his arm, "oh trust me I will play with you alright but first I want to grab a bite."
"Okay well we can go down to the kitchen and-"
"No Benny" she placed her hand on his shoulder, "I think I'll take my dinner here."
Benny looked confused, Rose smiled and Benny saw fangs, he let out the most girlish scream ever and backed up to the wall.
It was only a few moments before Louis ran in and grabbed his sister. "I suppose we need to explain a few things" he said before tying Rose to a bed post with his belt.
"Let me go" she yelled
"What's wrong with her?" Benny looked sick
"She's changing"
"What do you mean she's changing?" Benny asked sitting around the kitchen table with all of Rose's family.
"Well you see whether she wants to admit it Rose isn't 100% human but you know that" her grandfather spoke up. "When my wife created a spell so we could have children we did not know what to expect when they were born. We did know if they would be human or crave blood, we didn't know if they would age or stay babies forever" he glanced at this wife.
She continued in his place "Rose's mother was our only child and when she was born she was like every other child almost like a true human. We noticed at a young age that she tried to drink the cat's blood so we went to a Crone to ask for help. She said that Rose's mother would basically be a human as long as she never drank human blood then she would become a full vampire. In order to keep her from doing this we put a spell on her to kill her craving for blood. It worked until she was about 15 and it seemed to have worn off and the craving came back, we were so worried we went back to the Crone. She told us that it was like a test of sorts if she refrained from drinking blood until the craving wore off then she would never crave it again but if she drank blood she would be a vampire" she sighed.
"What does that have to do with Rose?"
"She isn't a full human so when all of our grandchildren were born we put the same spell on them. When they came to a certain age for Louis it was 18 and Dominique it was 21 they had the same craving and they had to undergo the same test."
"How long does it last?"
Rose's grandfather took a deep breath "it varies sometimes it is a day sometimes it's a 2 or 3, it just depends on how strong willed they are."
"One of the signs that it's about to start is the craving for red foods, unbearable headaches, and feeling sick. That's why when she showed the signs this morning we told her to go to bed so that maybe she wouldn't have contact with anything till it stopped" Rose's grandmother looked worried.
"But if Dominique and Louis got over it then, Rose defiantly will, right?"
Everyone was completely quiet and looked at each other before Dominique spoke "that is completely true, I didn't overcome it" her eyes flashed yellow, vampire yellow.
Benny jumped "their father, he walked in Dominique room at the wrong time" Rose's grandmother's voice was filled with so much sorrow. "It wasn't her fault you must understand that the craving that they feel when their changing is comparable to you being starved for 15 plus years. Rose isn't in the right state of mind right now, she is so hungry she feels like she is dying and being that hungry can make you despite."
Benny didn't even know what to say, "Isn't everyone in danger then? Shouldn't she be locked up till it's over?"
"She won't bite any of us; she doesn't crave blood that doesn't have oxygen which vampire blood does not. Even Louis and Fleur who are not vampires are not in any danger because its in their blood."
"So the only one in danger is me?"
After they finished their conversation Benny went upstairs to get some blankets, he was not going to sleep in the same room with a girl trying to drain him. He quietly open the door and peaked in, Rose was still tied to the bed she looked unconscious. As he tiptoed in her eyes began to flicker, her eyes quickly flicked open and she looked at her hands that were still bound and tugged. "What's going on? Benny why am I tied to the bed? I swear if this is some sort of fetish of yours I'm going to hex you six ways to Sunday."
"It's for my protection" he grabbed a blanket and a pillow from the bed
"Benny Weir you untie me right now!" she squirmed
"You don't feel sick anymore? Do you remember anything?"
"No and no, now untie me before I turn you into a frog"
He pondered for a moment and then decided that she must have come out of the madness, "alright."
He untied her hands and she stood up noticing the blanket and pillow, "Benny stop being so weird and lets go to bed." He hesitated for a minute and then decided it was safe, I mean she wouldn't kill him right? They changed and lay down; Benny was trying to not seem as worried as he was. After a few minutes of not speaking Rose sat up and looked over at Benny, who sat up as well. "Can I tell you something?" he couldn't see her face but her voice was small.
"Yeah, of course"
"You're so gullible" Benny didn't have time to process her words before she was on top of him stroking his face with her cold hand. "You honestly believed I was back to normal" she laughed "such a stupid little geek" Benny went ridged. Rose learned over with her lips close to his neck and whispered "I have always wondered how good you would taste" Benny could feel her warm breath too close to his skin.
She lowered closer about to take a bite when Benny chocked out "Rose" the way her named escaped his lips sounded like a melody.
She lowered her mouth to his neck and places a small warm kiss on his exposed skin and he felt something warm hit his neck. She lifted her face up and he saw tears escaping her eyes, "no" she cried out more addressing herself then him. He realized that she was telling herself that she refused to do it, she couldn't bite him.
She jumped off the bed but hit the ground doubled over in pain, she screamed and a yellow light seemed to engulf her and were gone just as quickly as it came. She was breathless and clutching the ground when her family ran in and checked on her. "Did she bite you?" Rose's grandfather was very concerned.
"No, she could have but she didn't, she stopped herself, is she going to be okay?" Benny was concerned.
"Yes, it's over she will stay human"
Once her family deemed she was okay and that Benny was in no danger they left the two alone. "Rose?" Benny sat on the floor and looked at her "are you okay?"
Rose sat up and hugged Benny crying into his shoulder "I am so sorry"
"Come on, I can't stay mad at you" Benny whispered into her ear. Even though Benny was always flirting and joking underneath it all he was much sweeter and kinder than even Ethan knew.
